Airline call sign - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Most airlines employ a distinctive and internationally recognised call sign that is normally spoken during airband radio transmissions as a prefix to the flight number. |
 | | In cases of emergency, the airline name and flight number, rather than the individual aircraft's registration, are normally mentioned by the main news media. |
 | | Some cargo airlines specialise in freight transport, an emphasis that may be reflected in the company's name. |
